channels: the dev channel publishes on dev-rolling, so its tag stops shadowing the branch
The rolling dev release lived on a tag named `dev`, beside the branch
named `dev`. Once a clone had fetched tags, `git push origin dev` failed
with "src refspec dev matches more than one" (Scribe #2184, note #3042),
and every session had to know to spell out refs/heads/dev.

The channel is still `dev` everywhere a person sees it: the app's
setting, `install.sh --channel dev`, the stored pref. Only the release
tag moves, to `dev-rolling`, matching roundtable-android. `stable` has no
branch to collide with and keeps its name.

- packaging/channel-tag.sh is the one channel -> tag mapping CI reads:
  the publish steps in android.yml and desktop.yml, the manifest job,
  fetch-clients.sh and guard-forward.sh. guard-forward exits 2 on an
  unmapped channel instead of fetching an empty URL and passing.
- update.rs and install.sh carry their own copy because neither can run
  it; update.rs gains a test that no channel feed is named like a branch.
- tests/test_channel_tag.py runs the script: no tag is a branch name,
  dev is exactly dev-rolling, an unknown channel fails with no output.
- publish-release.sh titles the release "ThoughtSync dev (rolling)", so
  the tag name does not leak into what people read.

TEMPORARY bridge: desktop apps installed before this have
.../download/dev/latest.json compiled in. The dev manifest job sets
BRIDGE_TAG=dev, and write-manifest.sh writes the same latest.json to
the old `dev` release. Its URLs name dev-rolling assets, so those apps
update once into a build that reads the new tag. The bridge, and the old
release and tag, are removed once installed apps have crossed over.
Until then the push still needs the explicit refspec, as
ci-requirements.md now says.

ThoughtSync desktop (Tauri v2)

Local-first desktop client. The window loads the shared Vue 3 frontend from ../frontend; the Rust core (src-tauri) owns the on-device store and the opt-in sync engine (built out across the M10 milestone). Works fully offline; optionally syncs to a self-hosted ThoughtSync server.

Layout

desktop/
  src-tauri/
    Cargo.toml
    build.rs
    tauri.conf.json          # frontendDist -> ../../frontend/dist, devUrl :5173
    capabilities/default.json
    src/
      main.rs                # thin shim -> lib::run()
      lib.rs                 # tauri::Builder entry point

The Vue frontend is the sibling ../frontend package, shared with the web build. On desktop it is backed by a local data source via frontend/src/adapters/ (M10.3) instead of the server REST API. frontend and src-tauri are siblings, not nested, so the beforeDev/beforeBuild commands cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/frontend" to resolve regardless of the CLI's working directory.

Prerequisites

The toolchain (Rust + Node + WebKitGTK 4.1 + tauri-cli) is provided by the ci-tauri CI image. For local dev: install Rust + Node, cargo install tauri-cli, and the Tauri v2 Linux system deps — see CI-tauri/Dockerfile in the CI-runner repo for the exact apt list (libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev, libgtk-3-dev, librsvg2-dev, libayatana-appindicator3-dev, libxdo-dev, patchelf, ...).

Dev

cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo tauri dev

beforeDevCommand starts the Vite dev server (port 5173) in ../frontend.

Build (Linux)

cargo tauri icon "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/frontend/public/icon.svg"
cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo tauri build   # -> .deb + .AppImage

App icons are generated from the frontend's icon.svg via cargo tauri icon (not committed; CI does this before cargo tauri build). Bundle targets: deb, appimage (Linux-first; Windows/macOS later, no code changes expected).

Status

Scaffold (M10.2): boots the shared Vue UI in a native window. Until the local data adapter lands (M10.3 + M10.5) the app has no server configured, so it shows the login screen without a working backend — full offline functionality arrives with the local SQLite store (M10.4) + adapters/local.ts (M10.5).
